@JaredBusch said in KVM networking with libvirt (virsh) questions:

I assume that Debian 11 uses NetworkManager? I don't have a clean Debian system running KVM to check.

If so nmcli and its related commands are your friend.

Thanks Jared.

Reading about nmcli and seeing your screenshots led me to understand that macvtap devices are only active when the VM is actually running.

Using ip link I can now see the macvtap device on the host. One for each VM connected.

@scottalanmiller said in Delete All Snapshots on KVM with Virsh:

Is this a personal alias to Remove-VMSnapshot perhaps?

No I had that first but edited it incorrectly. Missed the VM in front.

But ya I thought vmcheckpoint was an alias but it's not.

Remove-VMSnapshot is correct.

So weird, they renamed it to checkpoint, but never changed the PS commands.
